Sss challenge

Thanks to Jim(MVW) for suggesting it, I'm posing a Scratch building challenge.

     Pick one of my Scratch sketch sets and build it,making any changes or
modifications you want.

     Post pictures of your build in this thread and we'll see if we can get votes to
 determine winner. I think originality and attention to detail might be good
qualifiers.

     If you've already built one, you can use it.

I thought there were many talented modelers here that could build anything. Maybe no one is in the mood.

C'mon asshats, show us your stuff.

I don't generally build things unless they fit a real need for my specific modeling efforts.  I've been building like crazy lately including scratch building a silver mine and several large trestles.  However, none of your SSSs fit exactly what I need right now.  Please don't take it personally.

I'll echo Dave's reply. 
I'm between layouts currently and likely have more completed structures now than I'll need when I build the next one.
But rather than sell the kits, I've continued to build from inventory just to model some while I'm not JFRingTM.
I still have more than several that I'll likely build knowing full well I'll not have the room for them.
Sometimes, a well built structure from a kit will fetch more $$$ than the unbuilt kit.
If not, it's still provided me with plenty of entertainment.

SSS = Simulated Stainless Steel in Q parlance.

I looked through the catalogue as well and while I love the concept, I too couldn't find any that fit the area I'm modelling.  I need a half dozen or more homes for a module I'm building.  It's local is Vancouver Island, British Columbia so lots of wood siding, board and batten.  Some stucco.  All from the 50's to the 80's.  If you're looking for more ideas to add to the catalogue, I'd be happy to send you pics.

Edit: I take that back.  I found a couple of small footprint houses that would suit an area of cabins that I'm planning.
